Let us begin 2008 with a deeply philosophical question. |
|
What do you think would happen if you put Skinner on ignore?
Would you be tombstoned? Would the ignore request be ignored? Would you no longer get PMs from him? Would you no longer see Grovelbot?
It's a mystifying question.

2. You can't put admins or mods on ignore, although.... |
|
once upon a time some mods tried to find out what would happen if they tombstoned Skinner.
(Same thing that happened when they put him on ignore.)

At least Mods...I wouldn't, nor would I advise it, but it is possible to do so :)

6. Mods can override that-- I admit I don't know... |

exactly how it works now, but, afik, there's no way you can avoid getting a mod PM. Mod messages I think you still get even if they're on ignore. When a mod term ends, they'd be back on ignore.
A mod could chime in about this.

I just went and tried it...
I was given those options...
I didn't act on them, though!

7. See my answer above to B_B... |

I believe mod status overrides ignore, even if it looks like you've ignored someone.

You can put him on ignore...
I just checked!
I doubt that anything bad would happen...
It wouldn't surprise me if he could override it though...
But I dunno!
I am sure you wouldn't be tombstoned!

I would never do it of course! I always enjoy his messages congratulating me on my very witty posts.
But, deviant that I am, I couldn't help but wonder what might happen...

12. Here's a somewhat philosophical answer: Why would anyone want to put Skinner on ignore? |
|
I bet a PM to Skinner would get you the answer you're seeking. :hi:
